I speak American, German, Japanese, Spanish and English - but "ebonics" is not a "language" - it is the bastardization of a language ... and even though being bi-lingual was not a "job requirement" I was fired from a job in DC because I kept asking a woman who was speaking ebonics to speak English if she wanted me to follow her instructions that were being given to me in this phoney language - needless to say, my boss was black and I did get unemployment from her for being fired without "good cause"

we all watch TV and know how to speak "proper" American to be understood ... Ignorance of our Nations official language is just that IGNORANT ... certainly not a problem for anyone born and raised here.

Would there be an 'Canadian' in there someplace? I struggle with the single language I use there are easy ways to allow me to do brief text chats with anybody from anywhere and nobody is left scratching their heads as to what was being covered. On-line translation sites work for a few lines and g00gle will do a webpage so language is not a barrier until speaking and real-time are involved.

I'll bet an excited Neufi would have her saying, 'What?? .... Slow down a bit'

I really must say, that for there to be effective commerce and social interaction, there MUST be a standard of communication. In America, that standard is ENGLISH. Different languages create barriers between people, and these barriers create tension between cultures. That is why ONE language is the standard of this country.

It seems that you, OP, support barriers between cultures within our country. Keep pushing that divide. Your deficit of perception is showing.
